How to Maintain Quartz Flooring

With such a strong, durable flooring material, maintenance requirements are minimal. Still, it’s beneficial to treat quartz tiles with care to ensure they maintain their beauty for many years to come:

• Clean up spills immediately to prevent staining the stone. Blot rather than wipe to prevent spreading the spill around.
• Place felt pads on the bottom of wood furniture to prevent scratching the flooring material.
• Sweep the floor regularly to remove dust, dirt and sand that can scratch quartz tiles.

Cleaning and maintaining your floors

Many homeowners and business owners are surprised to learn that metallic floors don't require a lot of maintenance. At Modern Epoxy Coatings, we apply a high-quality sealer to the decorative surfaces we install, which makes them non-porous and less prone to stains or other damage. Even with that protection, it's important to keep up with general maintenance:

• Sweep or dust as needed.
• Mop or wipe with a wet rag every few weeks to prevent dirt and grime from sticking to the floor.
• If anything spills, wipe it up so it doesn't sit for too long.
• For stains, you can use a non-abrasive commercial cleaner that's formulated for the surface. We recommend verifying with your contractor that the cleaner is okay to use.

How long does a metallic epoxy floor last?

It's difficult to estimate exactly how long it will last since that answer depends on how often the floor is used and how much foot traffic it gets. However, if a metallic epoxy floor is well taken care of and experiences average daily use, it can last for about 20 years.
